Fritillaria species

Plants of Home and Garden

Fritillaria biflora, Fritillaria pallidiflora, Fritillaria pontica, Fritillaria uva-vulpis and Fritillaria verticillata require much the same conditions as Fritillaria meleagris. Other species may prefer more sun; all require reasonably good light. Sow seed immediately when ripe, or in fall or winter; treat older seed for double dormancy, or propagate by bulb scaling, as per Fritillaria imperialis. Some species also produce bulblets which can be removed and planted. Zone 3-9
